Classic Arcade Gameplay with a New Twist: Players can enjoy the original arcade modes or mix up the gameplay with House Rules that can completely alter the experience.
Some examples of House Rules: Unbreakable - Equipable items have infinite durability. Never worry about breakage again! Start the game clock with 30 seconds and increase the clock with each enemy you kill! Make it Rain — Get rich quick! Enemies and chests drop tons of gold! Challenge System: A newly introduced RPG-like system that fits on top of the existing games and provides a myriad of challenges for players to complete.
Not all of its past is marked by noble deeds and great kings. In ancient days, the evil pharaoh Anhktepot ruled a great and powerful nation. His downfall stemmed from his desire for immortality. Cursed by Ra, the sun god, Anhktepot's soul still remains in his mummified form and brings death to those it touches at night. Stone Prophet, begins when your characters become trapped in a wasteland haunted by unnatural creatures, fierce sand storms, and cursed villagers afflicted by a horrible rotting disease.
Enemies could include monsters, wild animals, enemy NPCs, gods, and more. If there are enemies in your campaign, you'll need to choose what they are and stat them accordingly.
Stats will help you determine the dice rolls of these enemies when player characters encounter them. Plan the position of enemy units on your battle map so you have a rough idea of how the action will take place once the battle begins. Establish the starting point of your campaign. You'll need some kind of conceit to bring all the player characters together in a party. Oftentimes, characters will begin their adventure having just met in a tavern, or the characters could have been called to help the kingdom by an important NPC, like a king, governor, duke, or mayor.
This way, you might tie some other aspect of the plot in with its beginning. Part 3. Include deities in your game. You may want to incorporate invented religions in your game to create a more immersive setting for players.
For example, a priest might not be able to heal a friend without saying prayers. Evil gods and their followers are often a compelling point of conflict player characters will have to contend with throughout your campaign. Many experienced DMs have posted well thought out and nuanced pantheons of gods for other players to use online. Give your campaign a backstory.
This way you'll be able to answered any detailed questions players ask over the course of your campaign. However, you should be careful not to spend too much time over planning. It's very common for players to miss details that you may have spent hours coming up with. In these cases, it can be difficult coming up with dialogue on the spot.
Having a backstory for these NPCs may help you with this. The region your campaign takes place in may be feeling the effects of a significant event in the past, like a war or natural disaster. These details can help you establish the tone of your campaign. Add in side quests. This is a nice way of giving players a feeling of free-will in your game. Side quests can include small tasks, like delivering a letter, or more time consuming endeavors, like hunting and trapping a monster loose on the plains.
Many games require a special quest item, like a rare kind of metal, to create a powerful weapon or relic. You might use this conceit for one of your side quests. Invent unique, setting appropriate gear. Different settings will often call for different kinds of equipment. For example, if your setting takes place in rugged mountains, NPCs and towns will likely have ropes, climbing gear, and so on. Mountain towns might also have access to rare metals for powerful weapons.
Plains villages, on the other hand, might have plenty of healing items and farming tools, but not much weaponry. You might include one or two important cultural items to tie in the story of your setting with NPCs. As an example, your setting might have people that worship a god of flight, and all NPCs might wear feathered necklaces to indicate their faith.
When coming up with environment specific equipment, ask yourself, "What would this environment require for one to survive? Keep NPCs in character. While running your campaign, you may be tempted to adjust the actions of NPCs to make things more interesting. However, this can result in players feeling like you are manipulating events.
Try to play NPCs as though they are independent from you and do not share your knowledge of the campaign. Otherwise, you could keep going until characters are level 20, or until they're gotten powerful enough that you can no longer present plausible challenge for them. Make sure previous storylines have been satisfied, and make it rewarding for the players. Not Helpful 3 Helpful Could I make a player be the antagonist of the campaign with the player's permission, of course.
This can be really effective if the player maintains the secret, sabotaging the rest of the party from within. Not Helpful 2 Helpful To level up your PC, you need to acquire experience points XP , which are awarded by the DM, usually from defeating enemies or finishing milestones in a campaign. After accumulating a certain amount of experience points, you gain a level and all the bonuses that come with it.
Most of this can be found in more detail in the Player's Handbook. Not Helpful 4 Helpful You're the narrator, you can do many things.
Perhaps your players have been captured and kept in prison, only to be released a week later by an unknown entity, or maybe they've been traveling for several days, but finally arrive at the city gates. Of course, it will vary depending on what kind of situation you have, but make sure your players do everything they want before the jump, or ask what their characters would do during the jump.
Begin your adventure. You can move right into this step on the first session after you finish making characters, or this could also be the second session. Either way, this is where you all begin actually playing the game.
Each player controls their own PCs. The DM will describe where you are and what is around you. The players all take turns telling the DM what action they would like to do in response. The DM will answer each question and explain what the outcome of any action.
Play will continue in this way, back and forth between the players and DM. End of Game - Most sessions will end at or near a predetermined time. The average time is determined by how often you play - if you can play once a week, then those sessions may be only four hours, whereas if you can only play once a month everyone may opt for eight hour sessions. Whichever you prefer, the DM generally keeps track of the time and will call the end of game when appropriate.
Most DMs prefer to create an episodic "cliff-hanger" feel right before some kind of action to stop at. This essentially pauses the adventure at an intriguing point so that excitement for how it will resolve at the next session is high among the players.
Just like a TV show, this will encourage everyone to come back next time! Part 4. Start the game. Start the game with the DM telling you where you are and some general ideas about your surroundings, Such as: "You find yourself in a swamp. To the North you can see a house. To the West you can go further into the swamp. The East and South passages are blocked by dense growth".
Player 1: "I move to the North slowly, drawing my sword in case something attacks us. The water is about one to two feet deep; generally shin-deep. Make a perception check. She will roll a twenty-sided die d20 and add her skill of perception to the total. The DM, in secret, will determine a number that represents how difficult it would be to succeed; this is called the "DC".
If the player's total is equal or above the DC, then the attempt succeeds. Player 3 rolls a 13 on the d The DM had made the DC a 10, as it was fairly easy to see. DM: "Squinting at the structure, you see that it seems to be leaning a bit to the side, with boards on the windows.
It is unlikely that anyone has lived there in some time, but as to anything living there Look for other examples. The books cost a lot. You should buy the starter kit to see if you like role playing games. If it is something you enjoy, then you should buy the books. Not Helpful 14 Helpful Not Helpful 15 Helpful There are numerous websites that have pre-designed character sheets for various classes, or you can make your own.
Not Helpful 22 Helpful You do not need a grid. However, if you and your group are interested in using miniatures, then a 1 inch grid size is normal, with each 1 inch square marking 5 feet in the game.
This can make battles more interesting, and having a ''mini" that shows off your PC's and their enemy can help the group picture whats going on in more detail. Not Helpful 17 Helpful You and your players would need to then read the books, and go on from there. You would also need to purchase yourself some dice. They usually come in a box from your local board game store, and the dice include a D4, a D6, a D8, a D10, a D12 and a D We're just getting started and just want to see if we like this game -- what equipment is essential to playing for the first time?
How much should these items cost, on the very low end? Just get the players' handbook and a set of dice, which is all you need to be a player. You can spend as little as under 40 dollars maybe less if you look around and buy used copies and the player sheets can be printed out, so those are free. Not Helpful 20 Helpful Does the DM actually end up playing as a character at some point, or is he or she just controlling the game?
Generally, the DM does not have their own character. Instead, they control the game and the NPCs. However, the DM can do whatever they want since they're running the game. Not Helpful 5 Helpful Not Helpful 12 Helpful I wouldn't be too worried!
